More notes from CES 2008

My colleague Ed Crowley and The Photizo Group have some worthwhile observations of their own from Day One and Day Two of CES. Day One's notes point to Photizo's interest in three smaller companies, InPlay, Ality, and Pictometry, with Day Two's update featuring more of the large company action, including notes on the Samsung laser MFP and printer (SCX-4500 MFP and ML-1630, pictured above). While not exactly brand new, these models continue to turn heads with their stylish designs, if not their cutting edge speeds-and-feeds specifications. It must be a sign of a new stage in the industry, when products with looks and style as their main selling points create a stir and some backlash as well.
